The Power of Makeup

Never underestimate the power of makeup


A candidate for the Duluth City Council election sent this to me last year and I counseled him not to send it to anyone else lest it offend voters. His e-mail had Hillary Clinton in the lower right corner. I receieved this again yesterday only with President Bush in that corner. When I was going to college the most popular insult among the student politicians for an idiot was “horse’s ass.” So, I thought it was entirely appropriate to put a representative of that class of people in the corner to demonstrate the power of makeup. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
